Abstract

Mobile elements-plasmids and phages-are important components of microbial function and evolution via traits that they encode and their capacity to shuttle genetic material between species. We here report the unusually rich array of mobile elements within the genome of , the son-killer symbiont of the parasitic wasp This microbe's genome has the highest prophage complement reported to date, with over 50 genomic regions that represent either intact or degraded phage material. Moreover, the genome is predicted to include 17 extrachromosomal genetic elements, which carry many genes predicted to be important at the microbe-host interface, derived from a diverse assemblage of insect-associated gammaproteobacteria. In our system, this diversity was previously masked by repetitive mobile elements that broke the assembly derived from short reads. These findings suggest that other complex bacterial genomes will be revealed in the era of long-read sequencing. The biology of many bacteria is critically dependent on genes carried on plasmid and phage mobile elements. These elements shuttle between microbial species, thus providing an important source of biological innovation across taxa. It has recently been recognized that mobile elements are also important in symbiotic bacteria, which form long-lasting interactions with their host. In this study, we report a bacterial symbiont genome that carries a highly complex array of these elements. is the son-killer microbe of the parasitic wasp and exists with the wasp throughout its life cycle. We completed its genome with the aid of recently developed long-read technology. This assembly contained over 50 chromosomal regions of phage origin and 17 extrachromosomal elements within the genome, encoding many important traits at the host-microbe interface. Thus, the biology of this symbiont is enabled by a complex array of mobile elements.

摘要

移动元件 - 质粒和噬菌体 - 通过它们编码的特征以及在物种之间转移遗传物质的能力,是微生物功能和进化的重要组成部分。我们在这里报告了寄生蜂 的子杀手共生体 基因组中异常丰富的移动元件。该微生物的基因组具有迄今为止报道的最高噬菌体成分,超过 50 个基因组区域代表完整或降解的噬菌体材料。此外,该基因组预计包含 17 个染色体外遗传元件,它们携带许多预测在微生物 - 宿主界面很重要的基因,源自一组多样化的昆虫相关γ变形菌。在我们的系统中,这种多样性以前被打破短读序列组装的重复移动元件所掩盖。这些发现表明,在长读测序时代,其他复杂的细菌基因组将被揭示。许多细菌的生物学严重依赖于质粒和噬菌体移动元件携带的基因。这些元件在微生物物种之间穿梭,因此为跨分类群的生物创新提供了重要来源。最近人们认识到,移动元件在与宿主形成长期相互作用的共生细菌中也很重要。在这项研究中,我们报告了一种细菌共生体基因组,其中携带高度复杂的这些元件。 是寄生蜂 的子杀手微生物,并在其整个生命周期中与黄蜂共存。我们借助最近开发的长读技术完成了它的基因组。该组装包含超过 50 个源自噬菌体的染色体区域和基因组内的 17 个染色体外元件,编码宿主 - 微生物界面的许多重要特征。因此,这种共生体的生物学由复杂的移动元件阵列支持。
